A new Johnson County investment club seeks to plant seeds in local food, agriculture and sustainable businesses starting this spring.

Iowa Pollinators LLC, a group of 11 Johnson County area residents passionate about local food, grew out of the members' desires to keep their investments within the local economy and support new farmers. The group is the first chapter in Slow Money Iowa, a branch of the Slow Money Alliance, a growing national network of investors, producers and entrepreneurs supporting small food enterprises.
